Chapter 84 Mila gave a few final instructions before returning to the emergency department.
Given Eugene's condition, it was certain he would need to be hospitalized after the surgery.
Mila asked Sienna to head back to the house to gather sclothes and essentials, while she stayed to handle the admission paperwork.
Roughly an hour later, Eugene was wheeled out of surgery and into a private room.
Sienna hadn't returned yet.

While appendicitis is manageable, he needs to watch his diet in the future..." Mila wasn't aware of Eugene's eating habits, but she listened carefully, intending to relay the message to Sienna later.
After navigating the endless paperwork and collecting the prescribed medications, she settled into a chair beside the hospital bed, her eyes resting on the pale young man lying there.
Eugene, like Lysander, had an exceptionally handsface.
However, Lysander's looks carried a hint of danger and intensity. His presence was so commanding that it was intimidating when he wasn't smiling. Yet, his eyes, when amused, could make anyone's heart flutter unknowingly.
Eugene's beauty was purely striking, with deep-set features that lacked any aggression. But perhaps due to his temperament, he always seemed to carry a shadowy aura.
As Mila watched the sleeping figure, she sighed quietly.
Poor thing.
Eugene was only about eighteen or nineteen, and here he was, having gone through surgery without a single family member showing concern. He was shunned by his family, much like she had been years ago.
The difference was that after she married, she distanced herself from the family who wished to devour her. Eugene, however, was still caught in the web.
Just as she was lost in thought, Mila noticed something off.
Eugene's face had traces of makeup. His naturally attractive features seemed oddly out of place with it. Although, with modern trends, men wearing makeup wasn't unusual, so she didn't dwell on it.
After waiting a while longer in the room, with no sign of Sienna, an unexpected visitor arrived.

It seemed Lysander wasn't entirely indifferent to his younger brother after all, Mila mused, until she heard Leonard's next words.
"Ma'am, thank you for your help." "But in the future, please stay away from Mr. Eugene. He has issues, and we wouldn't want you to get caught up in them." Mila was perplexed.
Eugene was, after all, a direct heir to the Montgomery family, wasn't he? For Leonard to outright claim that the young master had issues-who was the one with the real problem here?!
Deciding she had no interest in the Montgomery family's affairs, Mila explained the doctor's orders, handed Leonard the medical bills and receipts, and left, instructing him to ensure the payments were made on time. With divorce looming, she planned to tally every account.
Once Mila had left, Leonard cast a cold glance at the sleeping Eugene before calling Lysander.
"Sir, she's gone. Mr. Eugene hasn't woken up yet."
"Good," cLysander's cool reply through the phone. "Sort out the staff at the villa. Even if he's a misfit, Eugene is still a Montgomery. He can be neglected, but no one outside the family should dare abuse him." "Understood." Leonard added, "Jade's back and brought her own team. We can't get close to the ma'am while they're here." A brief silence followed before a mocking laugh crackled through the line.
"This won't last. Jade's headquarters is in Verdelune. She'll have to return eventually. She can't stay here indefinitely." "Once she's gone, Mila will be left without support again!"
